I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

I've actually become quite fond of cider lately. All the drunkenness you get from beer, but doesn't taste like ass.

What brand have you've been drinking?

@King Kix Ya know I'd rather go for cider than beer.

My Little Pony Tales did a better job with relationships than FIM. Well, we do have Shinedance at least.

Also, someone wrote a 5 book epic fanfiction about G2. Not Tales, mind you the toyline that never got a cartoon.

@Dark How exactly do you base a fanfic on a toyline that didn't even have a cartoon series?

Whatever happened with Gen 2 anyway?Why is it that that gen never got much compared to G3?

Home grown Montreal cider in the fall, aww yiss. Even the crap stuff is still pretty good.

In general, I just don't care for beer. Then again, I don't care for alcohol in general.

It didn't have a cartoon, but there's enough toy descriptions and a raising sim game that's apparently not half bad according to the few that have played it.

G2 had more realistic horse designs, earthy colors, and some more stallions which all combined to turn off the G1 fans. Though it's mostly the designs.

Funnily enough, Clover the Clever is based off a G2 male named Clever Clover.

@Kix: Angry Orchard. Not super fancy or anything, but it's fairly cheap.

[up][up][up][up]Yeh, i've seen those before. Wasn't interested in drinking them, then again, I'd still be unable to drink since the law is pretty strict on 18 yr olds drinking.

You know what's really good? A shot of Fireball cinnamon whisky in a glass of Angry Orchard cider.

[up][up]Yeah, age limits can be annoying, but there's totally a loophole in those laws. It turns out if you wait long enough, you can just bypass them entirely! I can't believe they didn't notice that when writing the laws.

[up]I've never been a fan of Fireball, mostly because of people pushing shots of it onto me (I really don't like taking shots) but it would probably be pretty good mixed with stuff. I should try that.

The thing I find sad is that Rarity and Spike's relationship is better written then any of the other main cannon couples(comic and show), yet in reality its just puppy love and to be seen as a actual romantic story.
Perhaps it's BECAUSE it's never treated like an actual romance that it's so good, since we've seen how badly the writers handle romance with this show.

True.However,it still pisses me off how the show(and comics at times) doesn't seem to understand romance.

[up]Special mention goes to when the romance overtakes something that didn't need it and should have focused on something else instead. Chances are that you know exactly what I'm referring to.

It's sad when the best instances of romance in the show are things that actually kind of made fun of the genre instead of playing it straight {Rarity's sub plot in Best Night Ever, Hearts and Hooves Day, Simple Ways}. Heck, shipping fanfics handle romance better then the show does.

[up][up][up]What? That's crazy. I know when I heard they were doing and evil elseworld story, the first thing I thought was "man, I hope they focus on a love story involving someone who barely had a character to flip. If they spend the whole time with evil versions of characters I know and love I'll be seriously disappointed."

It wasn't even that.. it was just how... BORING the romances was, and seemed to be nothing but Tia suddenly being all "he's so dreamy' out of nowhere. And sadly, it was still the best done romance in the show. Simply because it was the one that least reduced the ponies involved into blithering morons.

@ marston Yeah,I know which plot your referring to.But the opposite can be just as bad when they don't do much with it.Take Cadence and Shining,for example.They get married in their 1st episode,then shining starts to turns in to a minor character who barely interacts with Cadence.Or Flash and Twily,story tries to portray them as a couple,gets so half-assed it barely seems romantic.The show can not seem to understand what love is.

[up]Even that romance is still manages to be half-assed,since the romance isn't major in most of story since its introduced the third issue and manages to be lazy in terms of writing and focus.

[up][up]I think both aspects are equally complicit in my disappointment with that arc.
